Velvet Ribbon c. 20th century

"Velvet Ribbon" is an anonymous work of art from the 20th century, held in the collection of the Minneapolis Institute of Art. It features a narrow strip of velvet fabric, woven in a striking plaid pattern of blue, white, red, and green. The piece's simplicity and elegant design highlight the beauty of textile craftsmanship. Its small dimensions, measuring 45 3/4 x 1 in., suggest a delicate, decorative function, perhaps as a trim or ribbon for a larger piece.
